COLLEGEVILLE ­­— Ursinus College has once again teamed up with The Collegeville Economic Development Corporation to offer a “Dinner and a Show” promotion, which provides an entertaining and inexpensive night out for Collegeville area residents.

“The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe” is being held in the intimate Blackbox Studio Theater, with 150 seats, now through Saturday at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.

The Blackbox Studio Theater is located in Ursinus College’s Kaleidoscope Performing Arts Center. Theatergoers should use the Ninth Avenue entrance to the campus and park in the college’s large west parking lot. The Kaleidoscope will be directly ahead.

Theatergoers who would like to take advantage of the “Dinner and a Show” promotion should order their tickets from the CEDC website, www.collegevilledevelopment.org

Tickets are $5 each, or $2 for students and seniors age 65 and over. Individuals can reserve their tickets online through the site, and they will be issued a receipt which they should show at the restaurant on the day of the performance to get the dinner special. They will also need the receipt to give to the Ursinus Box Office in order to pay for and pick up their tickets. Theatergoers should arrive at the box office at least 15 minutes before the show begins. Those with no Internet access can order tickets or get more information by calling CEDC Executive Director Rachael Morrison at 610-454-1050 or CEDC Vice President Cathy Kernen at 610-409-0370.
